Good Morning!

Futures in the red at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on yesterday’s massive rally with potential tariff de-escalation progress ahead of today’s pivotal CPI report. 

From Bloomberg
  • "The Wall Street stocks rally was set to pause as optimism around tariff cuts between the US and China gave way to lingering concern about inflation and economic growth.
  • Futures pointed to a drop of 0.3% for the S&P 500 and a 0.2% decline for the Nasdaq 100. UnitedHealth Group Inc. sank 10% in premarket trading after suspending its 2025 outlook. Appetite for safer assets picked up again, with Treasury yields falling and gold prices on the rise. The dollar slipped.
  • Investors are taking a breather after the 90-day tariff cool-off announced on Monday sent risk assets on a tear and propelled the Nasdaq back into a bull market. They’ll be looking for clues on the trajectory of Federal Reserve interest rates in the US inflation print due later in the day — the first to potentially show tariff-related costs.
  • “The challenges are not over,” said Frederique Carrier, investment strategy head at RBC Wealth Management. “The de-escalation was a lot stronger than even the best hopes, but you have to remember that the US economy still faces average effective tariffs of more than 13%.”"
